Order through the Lecture Depart
ment. The work was placed in charge
of the Executive Committee and the
Lecturer. After careful consideration
the following plans have been agreed
upon, and are already being carried out:
The "field" was divided into four Lee
ture Districts, of mine States each. These
Lecture Districts 10 be under special SUI
pervision and direction us follows:
The Eastern District, consisting OF the
States of Maine. New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, in charge OF Mortimer White
head, with d. III. Thing, of Maine. as
Deputy Lecturer.
The Centre District, consisting of the
States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Virginia,
Delaware and Tennessee, in charge ofJ.
j. Woodman, with c. l.. Whitney IL
Deputy Lecturer.
The Southern District, consisting OF
the States Of Texas, Louisiana, Ml-sl>-
~ippi. Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia
Florida, South Carolina and North Caro-
liua, in charge OF j n. LipScomb. who
as Deputy Lecturer will take the field.
Those III charge Of these districts VIII
arrange all the details Of The leciuring
IA their districts.
All four OF these Deputy Lecturers
are now at work, aud it is hoped that
during the year they will be able to visit
all parts of their various felds.
BY system of legislation grant, ng
special privileges we have seen in this
country hundreds of millionaireS created
during the past twenty-five years, who
have been permitted TO absorb the profits
of agriculture, which IS not only robolng
the farmer of the just reward OF labor,
but the communities in which it was
produced as well And while farmers,
under this system, have been compelled
TO contribute largely toward making the
rich richer, they themselves have gain
ed but little in proportion to the wealth
they produced. 1t is true there are
many who have made reasonable addl-
tions as profits, and it is also equally
true that many more have gained but
little-thousand have not gained one
per cent. per annum on labor and capt.
tai employed.
Judge Daniels. of the New York State
Supreme Court, In recent case of "cor-
nering'' lard, said that the business Is
no more than respectable robbery
s'such a combination is an unlawful
conspiracy punishable as a crime"
There is a work i'm this direction for
farmers and the National Grange has
already commenced to deal with the
subject.
Masters Of State Oranges, Secretaries,
Lecturers, Deputies and other workers
are greatly aiding the Lecturer OF the
National Grange by forwarding Grange
news and items. 1t is this true spirit OF
co. operation that aids and cheers us III
our work. One correction Is necessary
here and most cleeriullv made. The
Worthy Secretary OF the Indiana State
Grange did not say by joe" as report
ed Week or so ago. No more able Sec
rotary or more faithful worker can b"
found anywhere in our Order than
Brother j. Ill. Walker, of Indiana.
